It is with the greatest joy that we welcome the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVII. In the words of Paschal Uche who, after the Mass in Westminster Cathedral this morning, welcomed the Holy Father in the name of the young people of Britain today, we say:
Dear Holy Father,
It is a privilege and a great pleasure to welcome you …. Your visit brings us together – it is like a family reunion - and we are very pleased to see you.…. It is our prayer that your visit inspires us to be “saints of the third millennium.”
For many of us before today you were a face on the television or a picture in a Church but today we behold you face to face and (we) would like to express (our) profound and heartfelt gratitude for your visit.
May God Bless you.
